Zhang Shuang, a cheerful twenty-something from Liaoning, China, isn't typical pop-star material. She doesn't sing or dance or suffer wardrobe malfunctions. Her principal talent, to which she has devoted her life, is playing the pipa, a lutelike Chinese instrument more at home in Peking opera than Top-40 countdowns.

...FDCs. This is a little suspicious—the pharmaceutical industry is a huge contributor to and close ally of President Bush, and they stand to lose big if he green-lights generic FDCs. In addition to losing lucrative contracts, they fear that their long-term profit margins will suffer if generic manufacturers continue to gain greater international legitimacy and clout...
